This study focuses to examine the living standards of khadi workers and their families. The researchers aim to analyze the socio–economic status of khadi workers and to study the problems faced by khadi workers and khadi industries in selected units in the district of Malappuram, from the state of Kerala. The results of the study reveal that only female workers are attracted to the field of khadi industry because of only nominal wages are offered to the workers.
